​"The maintenance was high standard. Layout of the holes was challenging (wide fairways, but small and difficult greens) and routing was logical. A very nice experience."

​"Great golf course. Every hole presents a difference challenge in the stunning Cotswold countryside. Also unique views of the “Gallops” which are best appreciated in the morning as the race horses are being worked."

​- Peter F, Tripadvisor​

​​"We were so impressed by the facilities and the condition of the course. Having the horses running around was an added bonus. Naunton Downs was one of the nicest courses I’ve played in terms of condition and lay out, as a high handicapper it wasn’t too difficult but had its challenging holes. Finished off with a beer and a chat with the general manager. Very impressed and I cannot wait to go back."
